Guido tapped in a right-footed shot from about 15 yards out 10 minutes into the second half. He took a filtered pass from Lopez between two defenders just inside the penalty area before sending it to the left of the Panthers goalkeeper.

“It was a good pass,” Guido said. “That's all I can say.”

Guido can say he's an important piece on a team that clinched its fourth San Diego Section title in eight years with a 2-0 win against Francis Parker last week in the Division IV title match.

The Crusaders (14-6-1) won section titles in 2002, '04 and '05 when the school was called Marian Catholic and was located in south San Diego. The new campus in eastern Chula Vista opened in September 2007.

“We're just reloading,” Crusaders coach Jorge Zavala said. “When you go man-to-man, we're good. We used to have two (good) guys for each (position). Now we have three. That's why we're solid in the back.”

Mater Dei marked attackers with at least two defenders against Annenberg. The Panthers (18-4) couldn't penetrate the Crusaders defense.
